SpaceTime 3.0 - The best calculator for iPhone/iPod Touch

2008-12-17

I use iPod as a calculator in my math lessons at school. Since the 2.0 firmware version there is a better calc. Just rotate the iPod to the landscape position and you get loads of functions for solving complex science and math problems. But what I missed was a graph plotter and an equation solver.
A friend of mine announced me, that a version of Spacetime is avalible for iPhone/iPod Touch. I already knew this app, but didn't know that it's portable on iPod.



When you run Spacetime first time, you are welcomed by a very nice tutorial, which describes the work with Spacetime. Tutorial is devided into 9 parts (Basics, Solve Quadratic Equations, Calculus, 2D Graphing, 3D Graphing, Matrices, Custom Functions, Scripting and Scroll Function).

So I'm now able to solve the quadratic equations very quickly, which I need frequently at school. Actually I only have to enter the variables a, b and c, and I get the result immediately, even the equation doesn't have a solution in R numbers. In this case I get two complex roots.

Another feature I noticed is that Spacetime is able to count with the fractions. For instance you want to solve sin(60°) and you get the right answer (√3/2). Or you click to solve again and it is converted to a number (0.866...).

Next thing is the scripting feature. I would like to learn this because scripts really save your time. Maybe I'll write an article about scripting in Spacetime in the future.
